phlak/plex repository overview

⁠docker-plex

!!! UNMAINTAINED !!! - I will no longer be maintaing this image and recommend using the official plexinc/pms-docker⁠ image if you would like to run Plex on Docker.

Docker image for Plex Media Server.

⁠Running the container

Create a named volume for holding persistant data:

docker volume create plex-data

Run the Plex server:

docker run -d -p 32400:32400 -v /local/dir:/vol/media:ro -v plex-data:/var/lib/plexmediaserver --name plex-media-server phlak/plex

NOTE: Replace /local/dir with the path to your media folder on the host OS to share the media with the running container.

⁠Optional arguments

-e TZ=America/Phoenix - Set the timezone for your server. You can find your timezone in this list of timezones⁠. Use the (case sensitive) value from the TZ column. If left unset, timezone will be UTC.

--restart unless-stopped - Always restart the container regardless of the exit status, but do not start it on daemon startup if the container has been put to a stopped state before. See the Docker restart policies⁠ for additional details.

⁠Image versions

When creating your container you may specify a tag to use. For example, if you would like to run the current Plex Pass release you would want to use the plex-pass tag:

docker run ... phlak/plex:plex-pass

If you don't specify a tag latest will be used by default.

⁠Available tags

Eeach release (starting with 1.5.3.3580-4b377d295) is also taged and available if you'd like to run a specific version. You can view the complete list of tags on Docker Hub at https://hub.docker.com/r/phlak/plex/tags/⁠
